Animal

Animals, like a puppy, are so innocent. Humans are greedy, judging, and hurtful.

Need more details OP. What kind of person and what animal. It all depends on the situation.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

That depends on the human involved.

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

Depends if the animal is a monkey or not. I -blam!-ing hate monkeys.
Regardless, I'd always pick the human unless he did something terrible like taking a dump in my room or killing someone.

What if he killed someone, took a dump on them, dragged them to your room, and wiped it everywhere?

Gather around the campfire, once it goes out, it's out for good.

If they were both in danger, I'd choose the human to avoid people annoying me.

If it is a choice between a situation in which I'd save an animal and one I'd save a human, I'd choose the former so I don't have to listen to people's bull-blam!-.

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

More advanced Animal > Normal Animal.

Human is the logical and only choice.

Every member of the Covenant shall walk the path. None will be left behind when our Great Journey begins. That is the Prophets' age-old promise, and it shall be fulfilled!

Human.

Human. As much as I love animals, humans serve a greater purpose, and have more value than a human. I'd rather save a human, then a dog.

Depends on the circumstance.

For example, do we have to physically kill one or the other? The act of killing and the act of letting a being die are morally separate.

Are both drowning and we can only save one? The human is the choice. One argument is that humans are inherently more valuable.

But let's say you don't think that. Let's say humans and animals are equal- both have the same right to life. You still need to pick the human. An animal dying in this viewpoint causes the same amount of inherent pain or dissatisfaction as a human dying. However, humans have preferences outside of simply eating, mating, and living. By letting a person die instead of an animal, you are violating more of these preferences than if you let the animal die. Thus whether or not you believe the animal is worth less, the human is the clear choice.

If you'd like to take a Utilitarian viewpoint instead, you could say that an animal dying and human dying cause the same amount of pain themselves. However, a human dying deprives the person of a much greater number of pleasures than the animal would have lost, and other living beings may very well be affected by this death on a much deeper emotional level than, say, two chipmunks. Thus... you still have to pick the human because picking the human to live ends up with the greatest amount of good and the least amount of pain.

You could make it more interesting by saying 'a human or an equally advanced alien' or something.

depends on human and animal. Always save cats, never save people i dislike.

I am the Carpet man they talk about... I jump from star to star, I walk it out.

The fact that so many people didn't immediately choose the human really bothers me.
